I have just returned from the Annual Summer Meeting of the American Association of Physics Teachers where a high point was a superior lecture by Neil deGrasse Tyson of the American Museum of Natural History and Director of the Hayden Planetarium in New York City. You may already know him from American television. If you ever get a chance of hearing him in person, go.

Later this month I'll give the Flying Circus of Physics talk at the United States Military Academy at West Point.
